“Faye is someone who is shopping at thrift stores and is drawn to things that are sexy and cute and kind of pop on a thrift rack,” Vitto tells NYLON. “When sourcing her costumes I thought a lot about what kind of brands you find in a California thrift store: Roxy, Frankie B, Miss Sixty, Betsy Johnson, and random kids’ clothes.”Ī direct reference to Cowboy Bebop was Faye’s Nike Uptempo sneakers, and Vitto finished her first on-screen look with a bootleg anime halter (another ode to the cartoon character’s signature style), a Miss Sixty denim pleated mini skirt, underwear from Santee Alley, knee-high socks, and Hot Topic jewelry. “We chose that look because it was fun and perfectly represented the Faye silhouette that we kept through the whole season,” adds Vitto.Īs “The Girl No One Could Get,” Lexi surprised the audience - and Euphoria viewers - by channeling a decidedly “hot” aesthetic. “Although Lexi is referencing her sister, I had to tread delicately because there's been such a backlash to overly politically correct body positivity,” explains Bivens. In relation to how it relates to Lexi's feelings about her sister, it completely made sense.” “Whenever I'm working with characters and then changing their body somehow, like using enhancements to make some sort of story point, it's always something that I think about a lot. To help drive home the fact that Lexi was now sporting bigger breasts and a curvy shape, Bivens made sure to dress her up in knitwear because it instantly clings to the body. “I knew I wanted a bright color, that I wanted to be knitwear, and that I wanted it to be some kind of halter situation,” she notes. If it doesn't exist or I can't find quite what I'm looking for, then that’s usually when I'll build a costume.” (Lexi’s dress is from Nana Jacqueline.) “So usually I come up with design details that I want to exist in the garment, and then oftentimes with contemporary projects, I'll look for that piece in the world to see if it already exists. In this particular season, Rue’s addiction and relationships took precedence over her wardrobe, but Bivens still made sure to include sartorial cues to accent her storyline. “I'm always looking for ways to create some sort of mood for the characters based on what they're going through psychologically and have sort of a visual roadmap for the audience of the character arc, if at all possible, without it feeling contrived,” says Bivens. The work is done for you it says little about the character as a person other than their desire for control.In the finale episode, Rue’s outfits may not be as fashion-forward as the rest of the Euphoria crew, but her hints of yellow - a T-shirt, a pair of pants - were a way to showcase a sense of hope for her future. While it is a signifier of a queen bee, it’s also the simplest way to look put together. When Cassie and Nate walk hand in hand down the hallway-Cassie dressed in a pink crop top and skirt, paired with dramatic eye makeup- Maddy sneers, “Well she certainly looks the part.” But the symbolism of the sets goes further than a visual gag. (She’s grown up but hasn’t totally abandoned her attention to detail.) “She has seen a lot in her short amount of time, so she’s jaded and is imagining herself in the next chapter of her life and is even fantasizing about what it’s going to be like to be out of school and have more freedom,” Bivens says.Ĭassie dressing like Maddy is a joke in the show as well. Her first outfit of the season is a cutout black dress and gloves her last is a green unitard with coordinating eyeliner and nails. This season Maddy mostly ditched her sets in favor of more sophisticated noughties styling-a little more adventurous and high fashion. I can play the fucking villain.” In her perfect little outfit, she’s totally lost the plot. Well, if that makes me a villain, then so fucking be it. As the crowd boos Cassie, she gets quiet again for a second. The dejectedness fades to anger, and Cassie comes back in, clapping for Lexi she proceeds to climb onstage, berating her sister in front of the rapt audience. He dumps Cassie in the hallway, leaving her to walk back to the theater in her skintight baby blue skirt, coordinating ruffled scoop-neck crop top, and heels. Most of the clique is surprisingly cool with having their dirty laundry aired in this way-except for Cassie ( Sydney Sweeney) and her love interest, Nate (Jacob Elordi), who storms out after his stand-in dances to “Holding Out for a Hero” in front of phallically arranged gym equipment. Beautiful Cassie’s bystander, bookworm sister (Maude Apatow) has created a piece of theater based on the lives of their peers. The premise of the final two episodes of Euphoria season two has been exactly that. To be fair to Cassie Howard, if I had a sister who wrote a play about me and performed it in front of the entire school, I would probably want to interrupt the play to scream at her as well.
